the accountant PC was formatted, he has some mde files he uses for his work,
these files are still available but when i open them from another PC, a form
open (sorta like a modal box in windows applications) that tells me i am not
allowed to open these files. Why ? How can i solve this ? How the security is
implemented ? Can i do anything to help him ?

You'll need to be more specific, and tell us the exact text of the
error message.

This is a small company, and it is not very "organized".
The error seems not generic, it is written in another language (arabic), it
appears after the application open a window, usually the accountant will not
get this, he just enter his credentials...
Fortunatelly it appeared that the application was on another drive and it is
still working, my guess is that the security is linked somehow to his PC or
to a license file somewhere in the folder...
The problem is solved, but i still want to know more about this, what kind
of security was implemented, might help me in the future.
